Everybody Loves Raymond, one of America's most beloved sitcoms, is going desi and Star Plus will air it in its Hindi avatar.
While the project is currently being kept under wraps, we've heard that top TV names are being cast. Says a reliable source from the channel, "Ronit Roy will, most likely, play the title role while Vindoo has been signed on to play his brother." Aankon Dekhi director Rajit Kapoor has been roped in to helm the show.
Says the source, "The remake would be original, yet attached to the original series. Everybody Loves Raymond had a run in America for a good nine years. It has very strong recall value for fans of the original. However Star Plus wants to create a whole new fan base among the non-metropolitan viewership for the Raymond saga."
